Madrichim Programs

Temple Beth Elohim is extremely proud of our Madrichim (teaching assistant) Program, which provides extensive training and hands-on experiences for our teens in partnership with our learning programs for children in grades K-7.

We're always looking for creative, passionate and caring teen role models to help in our learning programs and junior youth group events! Contact Hannah Richman to learn more about the different opportunities and how you can get involved.

Madrichim-In-Training (MIT) Workshop (Grade 8)

Faculty: Hannah (Richman) Kearney

Meets: Sundays, 11:00-12:30 PM

Dates:TBA​Open to: Grade 8*

Do you love working with young children? Are you creative, friendly, organized and a little bit silly? If you answered “yes,” the TBE Madrichim-in-Training Workshop is for you! Together with your fellow MIT classmates, you’ll spend the first half of the year learning all about child development, lesson planning, helping kids with special needs---everything you need to know to be an awesome Jewish role model for TBE kids. Then, you’ll spend the rest of the year observing Limud and Beit Midrash classes in action, discussing what you observe, learning about managing special situations in the classroom, and deciding what grade you’d like to work in the following year. By the end of this year, you’ll be prepared to assist our Limud, Beit Midrash and BM3T teachers in their classrooms. Get ready for an exciting year that will give you the skills you need and a community of great friends who love teaching as much as you do!

Dates: Sundays when Limud is in session (Click HERE for Limud Calendar) Open to: Grades 9-12

Deepen your repertoire and your skills as a songleader while you work as a Songleading Madrich/a in the Limud Program on Sunday mornings. Together with Matt Stern, master songleader and music educator, you’ll be responsible for planning and leading the K-5 Opening Assemblies during the Early and Late Sessions of Limud and teaching K-2 music.

​When you’re not leading or teaching, you’ll be receiving ongoing professional development and support, and will work to plan upcoming assemblies. Join a dedicated and enthusiastic team of songleaders and get ready to make Jewish music with our students!
